Still scratching my head over what TV to get, I found this on a thread in Slashdot:

Where are the options for smaller, cheaper sets?

I second that important question. (Set includes the required tuner, otherwise it's just a monitor)

Dorm dwellers, RV'er's, apartment renters, homes with kids (Dad has no interest in the purple dinosaur) and such. A one TV home theatre solution is not a solution for a house with a family. A multi thousand dollar set in each bedroom, kitchen, den, living room, etc are [sic] also not a solution.

Just where are the cheap small sets? Where is the over the air demo at the local electronics store? I keep looking. The demo is either for a subscription Satelite or Cable pay TV service, or from an in-store demo loop.

If it won't work in the store, how the heck do I expect it to work at home?
Show me the sets in operation! Don't show me a 5.1 sound system, monitor, tuner package. I have a good stereo. I'm just looking for a few small inexpensive TV's to replace my analog stuff for the local news. Don't try to sell me components. I just want a TV for after analog does dark.

If the sets don't show up, then the Internet will be my TV of the future.

CALLING LORD STRINGERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

P. S.

I think I'll be holding off on HD until scifi [sic] channel is broadcast in HD.

Well, it IS SLASHDOT.
